I am trying to confirm use of NetBackup on all seven continents. I have not yet been able to confirm it's use in Antarctica. Can anyone out there help me?

Sounds like an interesting project

Contact Symantec Regional Sales Manager in that area, that'll be the quickest way to find it out.

(btw, I can definitely confirm it's use in Australia)

The problem is the Sales

The problem is the Sales Manager is that "Happy Feet" penguin and he never sits still long enough to answer the phone.

I don't have to know how to spell....I work on Unix.

Guess some US research

Guess some US research stations in Antarctica should be running NBU to back up their research data..;-)

Seriously though

Check with Linus Torvalds, the creator of LINUX. He seems to know a lot about penguins.....

Could be an interesting conversation.

you know you're tempted

Would you be able to resist calling Iron Mountain and asking for a 2-hour turnaround for a critical tape delivery ? =)
